Yearly repeat for an event not available.

Good day.
In the documentation it refers to a yearly repeat option for an event. I do not have that option. 
I use JEM for a Members Only website and want to add members Birthdays to the calendar. When I go to the Repeat option I only have daily, weekly, monthly and weekday as an option. This would mean that I will have recreate the event every time for each person.
Any advise welcome.

Hi, I saw yesterday the same thing in the documentation and planned to look, if this is really inside JEM. I don't think so. But this could be a feature request. JEM has a jubilee module, which could perhaps help.

Thank you. I will have a look at that module.

No, it is not for that! I will post a feature request in github. Feel free to contribute or share, if you know something!
